Which Statement Best Describes How the Kinetic Molecular View of Gases

question 47

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes how the kinetic molecular view of gases can be used to explain the effect of gas temperature on gas pressure?

• A) Gas pressure and gas temperature are unrelated.
• B) The effect of temperature on pressure depends upon the gas.
• C) As temperature increases, the particles are damaged, slowing them down and decreasing the number of collisions against the beaker; therefore the pressure decreases.
• D) As temperature increases, the particles are split apart so that there are more collisions against the beaker and the pressure increases.
• E) As temperature increases, the speed of particles increases, so there are more collisions against the beaker and the pressure increases.
